I love brown ales (and ambers, reds, etc.). Why don’t I ever/so rarely see them in New York bars?

I’m going to try this with Parm, red pepper, and wilted spinach (and maybe a side of stewed cannellini beans).  

At restaurants where I’m not 100% sure what the ingredients are or am nervous that there might be “hidden” ingredients (fish sauce! beef broth!) I’ll often ask something like, “What vegetarian dishes would you recommend?” Mostly so I don’t seem like too much of an obnoxious vegetarian (and so if I accidentally order…

I once had a racist bone in my body, but I stopped seeing him when I realized he was a bigot.  

I specifically advocate for not just splitting the bill because of this very thing. Since I can, I often offer to just put it on my card and have people Venmo me what they owe. It makes things much easier for the server, and nobody gets stiffed (except maybe the person putting their card down — but then it’s fair to…

Macy wears what looks like a plain white T-shirt (but could be anything, really) beneath a dark-wash denim jacket and pairs this combo with light-wash denim pants. His head of strawberry blond hair catches rays of sunlight in its waves. His mustache is well-kept and takes the shape of a frown. This is a man with a…

False, friend. 

Oh, Rudy’s one to fucking talk...

I’m mentioned this before, and here it is again: I have encountered people (friends of the conservative side of my family) who believe some liberal women would get pregnant on purpose just to have an abortion. Someone told me that point blank. 

There are several in New York/Brooklyn with bookshelves! But I have enough of my own that I don’t need to borrow — sitting and reading or writing at a bar with a martini or glass of wine in hand is my favorite activity. I’m sure all the bartenders I meet think I’m some friendless loser. 

My (conservative) cousin posted a factually incorrect article about late-term abortion on Facebook, and I got drunk and started commenting. Politely! Just correcting some facts for her slew of . And I can’t remember how it came up, but one of her Facebook friends responded to something I wrote: “I’m not sure if [women…

Or not to mention the checks and balances they’re supposed to perform...

My bra goddess Iris tells me to go red method — it’s bettee for the bra. But that is very difficult with large boobs. Team Blue for sure.

I dunno. I loved the original (as so many folks here did/do), and maybe this is a new generation’s chance to experience whatever version of this movie will resonate with them. I am conflicted, to say the least. 

I saw this Broad City episode...

I’m terrified of flying. But I also know that media-led hysteria gets clicks, and clicks are good for business. As I’m heading to the airport Thursday, I am just trying to remind myself what you’ve laid out above. That, and I’m going to order a big ol’ martini when I get to JFK.

I mean...it’s a good burn. 

Oh, as a pseudo-creative myself, I think I perceived it as a slight. Sorry!

Yes, and was I right or was I right? 

My trick for grilled cheese is balsamic-caramelized onions sandwiched between the cheese.
